Race Porsche in Forza to Unlock Real Life Bonus Level

Porsche is issuing a challenge to all Forza 7 players, offering one gamer the chance to take the step into reality at Porsche’s Master Cup Training in Barcelona.

To enter you just have to enter a lap time from your home, to Forza’s “Rival” mode. Enter your time in a 911 GT3 RS at this website before August 7 and be one of the 48 fastest people on earth to enter stage two of the competition.

Stage two will divide the best 48 into four groups of 12, who will play off in a best of two free-for-all on August 11. The best six players from each group will then play off on August 12.

The players, again, will be divided into groups of 12, with best four from each group (in a best of three free-for-all) heading to Gamescon.

On August 22, the 8 will face off at Gamescom in Cologne. After another round of competition, the top four will be given driver training, in Liepzig, Germany on August 27.

They will then be invited to the Hungaroring Grand Prix track in Hungary for the final round of competition. The four players will face off on a Porsche simulator and the one with the fastest lap time will win entry to the Porsche Master Cup Training in Spain.

A 17,000 euro value ($20,000-ish), the Porsche Master Cup Training course takes place over two days, in which time drivers are lent a 911 GT3 RS or Cup car and taught to drive on slicks.

Normally, the course is only open to people with a Master Licence and limited to 16 people per session, since each driver is also given an engineer and teacher to drive with.

2018 Lamborghini Aventador S Roadster Review

“Supercars just don’t excite me anymore.” These words, spoken to me over a month ago by another journalist, friend, and (so-called) enthusiast were echoing in my head for far too long, but they’ve finally been drowned out. Drowned out by the wail of a naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12 engine mounted in the middle of the new Lamborghini Aventador S Roadster. My friend’s point is that back in the good old days, there was a crop of supercars that captured the imagination with amazing style, sounds, performance, and more. Today, it seems like everything is capable of supercar performance, with large luxury sedans outdoing some of the best and most dedicated teams of car nuts, while former pillars of automotive excellence are suddenly pumping out family-friendly SUVs. Beyond that, another league of supercars, dubbed hypercars have cropped up with hybrid gas-electric powertrains that make magical things happen quickly, but at the cost of the acoustic drama, visual flair, and engag...

Project SportWagen: Going Stage 2 with APR

When we last left you, the humble little SportWagen was fresh from the development process with our friends at AWE Tuning, sporting a new downpipe, exhaust and intake, allowing things to breathe a bit easier. The car sounded great, but there was no getting around the fact that our wagon was still quite, well, slow. While we realize that nothing we do to the Golf SportWagen at this point will make it a race car, we still felt compelled to do something . To put it bluntly, we had a fever, and the only cure was more power. Flash forward a few hours, and we found ourselves at Waterfest, staring down APR’s palatial spread and the numerous tuned vehicles surrounding it. Earlier in the year, APR had hinted to us that their 1.8 TSI files would be quite impressive, and based on what they were able to do with the 2.0 TSI found in the new GTI and our time in their Golf R, we knew it’d be worth the wait. So with this in mind, we lined our G...

Project Golf SportWagen- Intro

I’ve never really been one for SUVs and crossovers. The current offerings aren’t the body-on-frame, go-anywhere specialty tools I remember from my youth, and what they lack in capability, they also lack in on-road performance. The current crop isn’t terribly good at handling or being efficient, which in my opinion are major components of our ideal driving experience. So when it comes to space or utility, I usually look for something of the wagon variety- and it seems that I’m not alone. We hit quite a few shows around the east coast each summer, and we see modified Jetta SportWagens at nearly every event. Even amongst common consumers, these cars are highly sought-after. They don’t depreciate much, making even early Mk 5 2.5 versions expensive in comparison to other Jettas or Golfs of the same vintage. This year, Volkswagen launched their latest SportWagen, which is now billed as a Golf. In many ways, this latest SportWagen is the best yet and it has certai...
